  1. CW: anti-Asian racism, short

    @OctaviaConAmore @mayintoronto

    The #ModelMinority myth is anti-Black racism and internalized colorism is endemic.

    It’s wild out here in these digital streets.

    Keep your head on a swivel.

  6. In American politics both parties sellout their voters, its true, but no one really goes quite as hard as Republicans when it comes to screwing over their die hard supporters.

    This is an American political "leopards ate my face" moment that should be taught and shared widely. Blunder of epic proportions.

    This is how Trump treats "model minorities"...

    This is usually people who think the concept of #ModelMinority was a feature, not a bug of the messy system they are in.

    They view themselves as the feature.

    It’s a form of narcissism.

  21. @AnarchoNinaWrites should go without saying this is how the #ModelMinority among fascists serve their purpose: they're the most likely to get convicted and thrown in jail.

    it's such an important, and often misunderstood, form of narcissism. it explains them voting against their interests. they're special, they're unique. consequences won't dare to touch them.

    the narcissism of "am too precious to suffer consequences" is the road block to antifa solidarity; not "identity politics".

    These are the pervasive #stereotypes of the #ModelMinority #myth some #AsianCanadians & #immigrants say plagues every aspect of their lives, keeping them from being seen & living as their full authentic selves.

  35. My friend Melissa Lo has a superlative essay out today in the LARB, writing on her new book on Descartes and life in #academia, esp interrogating #meritocracy and #ModelMinority identity. Reco to anyone interested in the structure of #inequality in America.

    "In a weirdly Cartesian twist, both academia and the model minority identity depend on the fantasy that minds are absent bodies, free of relationships: a world unburdened by politics."
